EVH 5150 III 100w vs 50w

[UberMetalDood]

I have played both amps but never could attach to the 50w version like I did to the 100w version. I have heard couple of people say the same thing but I'd like to know what other people think. Does the 50w lack some of the mojo the 100w has?

I've read that 50w blue channel was hotter than the first couple runs of 100w, but that issue has been adressed. I've never played a hunnit, but the fiddy is no slouch at all. Gonna cop one?

I was tempted to get a 50W, but ended up gettinga good old fashioned 5150II instead. The 120W feel just right to me (although I still manage to practise with ear plugs at about 1.5 if that). Me lead guitarist has a 60W Ironheart and at about 6 he cant compete with my 5150II, not sure I would "uopgrade" to a 50W 5150III.

I think the biggest issue is the shared channels on the 50w. Ive contemplated getting one myself but cannot get over the shared eq on the 50. I would spend the extra dough and get the 100w, even if I played at low volume. just my 2 cents

Basically, 100 watt if one plays cleans, 50 watt if one would like to slay cats' earholes non-stop.

the 50W has 50 less mojos than the 100W.
